Fishing & baits

[Danté]

Hey, I'm new to the plains and would like to know how I'm supposed to get Norg brains if I can't buy norg bait. Can someone else buy/ use the bait and I can fish the Norg's up or how does that system work?

Do Bounties, rank up Ostron, buy Murkray Bait. Fish for Murkray, use this to earn Ostron standing faster, buy Norg bait.

Can I keep earning rep for the ostrons or only untill a daily cap?

You are suppose to raise your rep until you can buy the bait.


As a group as of recently yes we do share baits now so someone else can indeed drop bait for you. Though not too many people who put groups like that together since they are burning radish resources to make that bait. And most who are at that level no longer need to fish other than for fun.

It is a matter of progression. You start with common fish, that doesn’t require bait to be caught. Provide it to the fisherman for standings, untill you get higher rank in Ostrons Syndicate to buy a bait for norg. That is how it works.

However with the latest changes you indeed can share a bait with squadmates, so only one player uses the bait and every player in the squad can catch rare fish.

Until daily cap. Check your profile > Syndicates to see what your limits are.

Do a fat ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of quests in the plains and you should be ranked up in no time

Btw, I have plenty of baits for any kind of fish, so we could fish together someday. Add me.

Sure! Kinda weird that I'm at the same rank with the ostrons as I am with the Quills but need items from a higher tier Ostron vendor for a gift I got from the same tier Quills.

Not really.

Its just that so far down the track that Quills reps is now easy to get. Before you had to level Ostoron and it would level so much faster than Quills that the progression was natural.
